in egypt, although brexit negotiations occupied much of the event, the summit a summit between leaders from the european union was originally organised to mark and the arab league held here in egypt's tourist a new phase in relations hotspot sharm el sheikh, between europe and the middle east. has drawn to a close. here‘s ros on what lies behind it. while the summit was meant aside from brexit this is a moment to discuss issues like migration and terrorism, brexit took over much of great significance, for the eu of the agenda. and the arab league, and for the eu, ros atkins was there. this is their chance to establish itself as a relevant party in the night has fallen here in sharm middle east and in the arab world, el—sheikh and all the leaders from saying bilateral relations matter the arab league and the european union has headed to the airport. they will be flying back to their and the eu is a force that can bring respective countries this evening good to this region, so holding this and while brexit was not on the first summit is a statement of that. agenda, it has certainly been talked for the arab league, it wants about an awful lot, especially by the european leaders, and they are further cooperation with the eu particularly focused on the fact that brexit is supposed to happen on especially on trade and for both sides of this relationship there is march 29, and there is still no a lot to be gained on security. but agreement between the house of commons on the uk's side, and the we should also emphasise one person european council on the eu side on the‘s role, president cc of egypt what this withdrawal deal will look

was the co—host along with donald like. and the idea has been tusk and he had a huge stake in this referenced today that perhaps march 29 will have to be pushed back a little. have a listen to what the event, —— president sisi. they were prime minister said about that idea a little earlier. an extension to article 50, a delay talking about migrants going across in this process, doesn't deliver a decision in parliament, it doesn't the mediterranean to europe, and deliver a deal. what it does is although the numbers have dropped, precisely what the word delay says. the egyptian president has remained we have it within our grasp. as i have just said, i we have it within our grasp. as i havejust said, i had we have it within our grasp. as i a centralfigure. he came to power have just said, i had a real sense from the meetings i have had here, conversations i had with eu leaders in 2013 when he was the leader of in recent days, a real sense that we can achieve that deal, it is within the egyptian military and he led a oui’ military coup, removing from how the can achieve that deal, it is within s can achieve that deal, it is within our grasp to leave with a deal on 29th of march and that is where all first democratically elected president that egypt had ever had. of my energies will be focused. he went on to win elections in 2014 i was standing about two or three and 2018, winning both by huge metres away from theresa may when margins and many observers and human she first addressed the press pack rights groups questioned whether the yesterday and she has used a phrase opposition had been able to compete with him in any meaningful way. with she used several times in sharm all that in mind, listen to the el—sheikh, she believes an agreement that suits the eu and the uk is bbc's

all that in mind, listen to the bbc‘s political editor speaking with within her grasp. she is confident no extension of article 50 will be the dutch prime minister about this issue of human rights and whether needed. you won't hear the same confidence over mark ritter. there some of the leaders who have been here in egypt today are part of the isa confidence over mark ritter. there is a lot more to come, other than problem rather than the solution. clarifications because theresa may here in egypt today are part of the problem rather than the solutionm course, in terms of human rights, and her government herself have said they don't want northern ireland to be any part of the uk and for a —— the freedom of the press and dealing with this situation, there are to bea difficult issues on the table, but be any part of the uk and for a —— to be a part of the uk and for a having said that, there's so much we time being the internal eu market, need to work on collectively that we still need to have this dialogue and so time being the internal eu market, so given those red lines, the also hear things are not fixed, present deal on the table including the backstop is still a possible things are influx and things are deal. if somebody said to you what changing, in various countries, we percent chance is there for a see movements on the right direction no—deal brexit, would you say more andl than 50%? see movements on the right direction and i think a summit like this can bring that change about. for the eu, no—deal brexit, would you say more than 5096? i am not optimistic at the being here in egypt, co—hosting the moment, i than 5096? i am not optimistic at the moment, lam than 5096? i am not optimistic at the moment, i am not putting a percentage on it, because we are now 30 days approximately before brexit event with president sisi is an date, and we are not there yet. acknowledgement of the practicalities of the situation, they need further cooperation with perhaps the most explicit reference they need further cooperation with the arab world on migration and to the idea of a delay to brexit has security, not to mention the eu‘s

come from the president of the ambitions in terms of trade on these european council, donald tusk. he issues came up earlier when i met theresa may yesterday but this is him speaking today. for me it is interviewed the polish prime minister. i think it is not so easy absolutely clear there is no majority in the house of commons to to transplant all of the democratic approve a deal or find an rules to some countries that have a different tradition, and there was alternative. a chaotic brexit or an an arab spring several years ago and extension. the less time there is we know that this has not contributed to the stability of the until 29th of march, the greater the region and democracy can be built on likelihood of an extension, and this some foundation if there is the is an objective fact, not our intention, not our plan, but an objective fact. i believe that in foundation... if it is lacking at all, though, it is difficult to have this situation we are in, an all, though, it is difficult to have a vibrant democracy. to look at the extension would be a rational summit from the perspective of the solution, but prime minister may arab world eye has been speaking to tom bateman one of the middle east still believes she is able to avoid correspondence for the bbc. he is normally based injerusalem but he this scenario. so that is mark rutter and donald tusk. next he is has been in egypt today. joining tom was an egyptian journalist who works

the polish prime minister, who i for germany‘s ard. spoke to a little earlier, i wanted to know whether he thinks a no—deal was an egyptian journalist who works for germany's ard. stability is the key word, the genesis of this brexit is a realistic possibility. co nfe re nce key word, the genesis of this conference was in crises in both of these neighbouring regions, waves of more and more they think so. are populism and nationalism in europe after the economic crisis after a they worried, are you worried? yes, refugee crisis in part driven by the convulsions in the middle east and the popular uprisings of 2011 which have led to so much bloodshed and but we are preparing for scenario b, thatis have led to so much bloodshed and that is why people are searching for solutions, part of this was about how to deal with migration, one of which is a hard brexit. one more the plans has been quietly dropped, person to mention, jean—claude but that is why you are hearing from juncker, president of the european commission, has met theresa may the eu, they choose cooperation over recently and met her again here in sharm el—sheikh. they described their discussions as good. mr not engaging with this region. what juncker use the word he has used before, constructive, to describe about policy? president will be how their talks are going, and he let us know the three areas he feels the eu and the uk can work on. one happy with the pictures but is this about producing your policy?” believe he is moving towards that. is an evolution of the political declaration that will come with the like you said, we do have human formal withdrawal deal, this in part rights abuses and we have come outlines how the uk and the eu may through two revolutions and a lot of

bloodshed, the egyptian people feel operate together in future. he also it is about time that the presidency says there is work to be done on alternative arrangements to any and the government takes a role in current proposals for the irish this, and terrorism not only will border. that, though, is not for the affect us but also you can ban so in current deal, that is for what might some way or another by making this happen in the future, and then there are potential assurances the eu can region stable terrorism won't go to offer concerned brexiteers about the the europeans and also you won't irish border backstop that is within have this migrant flow of different the current proposed withdrawal deal. so those are the three areas kinds of people, so it is a mutual he says the uk and the eu continue cooperation between both and you cannotjust sit cooperation between both and you cannot just sit there and say, cooperation between both and you cannotjust sit there and say, we have a lot of human rights abuses to work on. we will have to see how because they are everywhere in the that work goes. remember the world. yes, we do have, but it is deadline they are working to is march the 12th, the point by which theresa may their says there must be not to the extent that it would be a meaningful vote in the house of commons on whatever form the withdrawal deal takes by that time. something that you can trade in, i have been chewing over all of theseissues i have been chewing over all of these issues with the bbc‘s europe saying that is all of what the correspondent gavin lee. so this is country has achieved, because the where dinner was last night, did you country has achieved, because the country has achieved a lot after two revolutions. thanks very much for getan where dinner was last night, did you get an invite? if only. i mean, this it was absolutely exclusive, as you know, journalists, we get to watch a that.

results of cuba‘s screen know, journalists, we get to watch a screen outside with water, not much referendum to change that constitution are in — else. imagine, though, 21 arab state almost 87% of cubans voted yes. the new charter recognises the free litres, 24 eu leaders, first ever summit, who is arranging this, who market while still enshrining sits next to who? so much dynamics communism as the island‘s here. and lots to talk about, brexit official political ideology. of course, but lots besides. the big the changes include recognising private property, issues today, yemen, syria, the limiting the president to serving continuing conflict there, afghanistan, migration, but a lot two consecutive five—year has changed, and they have five minutes to talk, that is why brexit terms, and extending a ban on discrimination to sexuality and gender identity. does get put to the sidelines of the let‘s hear from summit. these golf carts are worth highlighting, when king salman arrived yesterday through this huge will grant in havana. place, there was a huge scrum of the new cu ban the new cuban constitution was virtually assured of victory from jogging place, there was a huge scrum of jogging bodyguards, press trying to the moment it was proposed by the get pictures of him, of course he cuban government, such as the united didn't stop to take questions. brexit, theresa may spoke to the states control —— the state‘s press for the first time just over control of the airwaves, the yes there. how would you assess how campaign dwarfed the no campaign by brexit played out here?|j there. how would you assess how government critics, but there was an brexit played out here? i think it's a prized that there has been a energetic effort especially online little movement, not from theresa by government critics to get people

may's side, from the eu side, there to turn out in opposition to the new constitution. the state says the new is no deal agreed, but there could be the hint of an extension. they constitution. the state says the new constitution is important because it recognises private property and that put it out on the table, we will not it creates greater space for private business and it recognises their be guilty of a sudden no brexit in four weeks and four days. theresa importance to the economy and it may we are told said no, she can get does things like include the role of this deal, and it is not out of a prime minister in the political altruism, it is the self system, creating term limits on the presidential role, and limits him to preservation society of the european union. they don't want the damage just two terms in office, but economically of no deal. thank you for your help over the last couple critics say none of that matters, of days, we will carry on with courage of brexit in all its forms, that at its heart this constitution whether it is here in egypt or more still concentrates power in the hands of the cuban communist party likely back in westminster and brussels. yes, the story does and that the politburo decide about continue here. just in the past few investment on the island and wealth accumulation and ordinary cubans will not see their lives change in hours, the leader of the opposition, any way by this new constitution. jeremy corbyn, he announced that his labour party will back a second thanks forjoining us. did you see referendum on brexit in the event that labour's preferred deal to that beautiful car behind him? leave the eu fails in parliament this week. the party say a fresh bbc monitoring‘s claudia vote is needed to prevent a damaging

brexit but have yet to provide any plazas is in miami. details on it. let's hear more from what do we know about the results? the bbc‘s rob watson. details on it. let's hear more from the bbc's rob watson. the first thing i should say overall, this we are hearing 87%. won't have escaped you and everyone we are hearing 8796. basically the with the clock ticking down to cuban government announced that the preliminary results say that 86.85% brexit on march 29, things are hotting up both with the government, of the voters ratified the negotiations with the eu, and now let's get to it, the politics of the constitution doctored up the referendum that was held yesterday opposition labour party, and of course the short answer to your in cuba. —— the constitution... the question is it is immensely significant that the main opposition party is now moving towards backing referendum that was held yesterday a second referendum, of course it is. now, does it mean another vote in cuba. so when will these things come into effect, like owning is. now, does it mean another vote is inevitable ? is. now, does it mean another vote is inevitable? absolutely not. but private property? according to it isa is inevitable? absolutely not. but it is a significant development. and so it is a significant development. and so what should people be watching experts, there is uncertainty out for, do you think, in the coming regarding how these changes are days? that is a very good question. going to be implemented in cuba. it i think the first thing to watch out is hard to tell. yes, the government for is whether theresa may, sensing is hard to tell. yes, the government that may be parliamentarians, is making steps forward to modernise politicians, are just getting utterly fed up with her one delay but it is not clear what mechanisms

after another, that they may be are actually going to be implemented by the government and how they are prepared to force her to rule out a going to be implemented. some rights no—deal brexit, whether she may try and offer something when she speaks to parliament tomorrow to stave we re going to be implemented. some rights were included in the constitution but we do not see the mechanisms that. the second thing i am looking that the government is going to use out for, staying on that theme, is to bring about the compliance of whether really the mood has changed those rights. it seems very high, 87%, what was the opposition to in parliament, and whether a majority of mps, including very these constitutional changes? importantly senior members of government, they say to themselves, we cannot have a no—deal brexit, that would just be too bad for the basically, the opposition inside cuba has criticised the changes and country, and we would need to set in they think it is not really a way motion a process to try and stop forward in cuba. orthis that. they think it is not really a way forward in cuba. or this was done in social media and we have to the us has announced more sanctions on venezuela's government. understand that cuba is a country us vice—president mike pence says washington is taking action that really it has very limited against the governors of four border states who'd blocked aid from access for the average citizen to entering the country on saturday. the internet —— all this was done. he's been speaking in the colombian capital, at a meeting with some so this was a major issue through of venezuela's regional neighbours and the opposition the discussion of the referendum, leaderjuan guiado. opposition has criticised that gay

marriage was not really included in the final draft, and this was an but it was also just one more day in issue that was highly debated during venezuela's long and inevitable the months in which the government held grassroots debate to discuss journey from tyranny to freedom. as their drafts of the referendum. president trump said one week ago thanks forjoining us. today, so i say to all of you, despite the brutality that the world witnessed this weekend, a new day is stay with us on outside source — still to come... coming in latin america. in we‘ll have all the latest from the oscars — venezuela and across the western including how olivia colman became the first briton in a decade — to win best actress. hemisphere. socialism is dying, and she might now be hollywood royalty after winning an oscar last night, but olivia colman started out in the tv comedy peep show liberty, prosperity and democracy are being reborn before our eyes. over 15 years ago. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has been to the theatre several latin american countries — school where it all began for her. and canada — which make up the lima working group — recognise juan guaido as venezuela's leader. today, they were being told to consider ‘all measures‘ to oust mr maduro. here‘s colombia‘s president speaking. pam rudge, teaching a group of young translation: this meeting needs to hopefuls at the bristol old vic theatre school. 20 years ago, one of the pupils

makes his way to meet president trump. there is a lot of rain there thatis states, do you think? well, i think that is what everyone is wanting to but that is the entrance to the know. juan guiado came to the station in vietnam in hanoi. meeting in bogota, saying all options needed to remain on the table. the us has said they back him president trump spoke about the meeting a short time ago. 100%. now they‘ve wrapped up their we are speaking loud and i think we meeting, they‘ve said that mr maduro could have a very good summit, we represents a threat to peace and will have a tremendous summit. we security in the region, but they have fallen short, if you like, of wa nt will have a tremendous summit. we want denuclearisation and i think he saying actually it is military will have a country that will set a intervention that is needed, and lot of records for speed in terms of instead they have said we need to go the economy. down a more peaceful route, so the jonathan head has more on the significance region as a whole, brazil has said of the summit‘s location they don‘t want to get involved in — from hanoi. military intervention, and i think vietnam was once a poor and isolated thatis military intervention, and i think that is quite interesting, because country which for a long and bitter juan guiado was very thorough about war against the united states, but this, he said after the events on now it has one of the fastest friday he needed to have all options growing economies and it has a good available, but it seems that strategic and economic partnership especially in this region they are with washington and the communist much more reticent about going that party is still fully in control. far. and how is it for the people of

that is what the united states wants the north korean leader kimjong—un venezuela? you far. and how is it for the people of venezuela ? you have to see when he arrives, showing him far. and how is it for the people of venezuela? you have been down there for days, they have aid not getting that he could have some of this to them, we have heard about the humanitarian crisis that is under economic success without giving up way, as this political impasse power, if only he will give up his continues, are they watching it nuclear weapons programme. but so far he simply —— we simply don‘t closely or just trying continues, are they watching it closely orjust trying to get on with their lives? people here are know if the north korean leader is ready to start doing that. this watching very closely. i think the summit is different from the one in humanitarian aid issue we saw at the weekend was very symbolic. that aid singapore eight months ago where the focus was on the novelty of seeing these men together, seeing the body was actually going to get to the borders and border towns and start language change and seeing kim they are to be handed out. that jong—un outside of north korea, wasn‘t going to be arriving here in mixing with people, but this summit, caracas anytime soon but it was a symbol to say, actually, if we want the americans say they want to see a to get this aid through, what are big step towards the neutralisation the armed forces going to do? will and that has to mean some kind of they be siding withjuan guiado or commitment to international inspection or to shutting down one of their facilities, and yet the president maduro? people were not necessarily thinking it would solve north korea their nuclear weapons all their problems but it have given an indication as to how powerful programme has always been the nicolas maduro was. we have seen guarantee against possible regime more than 100 people, 150 i think, change. the focus will be on what defecting and saying they will back the north koreans are willing to offer this summit, and if nothing

juan guiado, but that leaves 200,000 more substantial than perhaps an end people in the security forces in to the long hostilities between venezuela, people at the top are them, if nothing more than that is still remaining loyal to nicolas achieved, it is very hard to see maduro. he is certainly more this high level summit driven isolated internationally but nevertheless he is still in power process of diplomacy continuing or and people here have realised after remain incredible. thanks for 20 years of the same government, this is not going to change joining us. bbc monitoring has been keeping overnight, it will involve patients a close eye on this story over if they do want to see a change in the weekend to see what local the government. katy watson, thank media is reporting. here‘s alistair coleman. you for speaking to us. it was covered for the north korean cubans vote on sweeping changes to their constitution including limiting a president to serving two television and it showed him leaving and there was a overdubbed crowd consecutive five—year terms. noise and shearing and brass bands playing but they also showed the uk‘s experienced its warmest ordinary people in the streets of february day on record, pyongyang reading about it with temperatures reaching newspapers, sitting on coaches and more than 20 degrees. let‘s hear from a climate on the metro, reading about this change expert. trip, and there is a lot of coverage what i think we will see, in for something which hasn‘t happened yet and that is quite rare for north relation to power for electricity, korea. there has also been very and even poor transport, is they will leapfrog, much as they did with positive editorials in the chinese

mobile phones. we shouldn‘t assume press, the state—run global times that what they will do is just for example has pointed out that repeat the mistakes we made. the china has been a broker and has been cost of renewables is going down, pushing for this summit for quite some time. the word upbeat is what the cost of electric vehicles is going down, it should go to scale in could be used for all three countries like china and india, then countries involved in this summit. we will move very fast. i think the problems will come else where, everybody is giving it a positive dealing with agriculture, the spin, vietnam is trying to show itself off to the world, china would methane emissions from livestock, thatis methane emissions from livestock, that is why people are talking so like to see itself as a peace broker much now about the need to think about our diets. i think it is going in the region and north korea would like to get a positive outcome from to bea about our diets. i think it is going to be a problem with dealing with heat and cooling of course. we think donald trump out of the summit, so everybody is looking for the of heat in this country but cooling ina lot of heat in this country but cooling in a lot of the world, and finding a positives. thanks forjoining us. way to deal with that without using gas. but we have the technology and while the two leaders we know it would probably make the make their way to hanoi, economy better if we do this. it is their lookalikes were being kicked out, this kim jong—un really getting the politics rate that will be important. impersonator has been deported after staging a fake summit with a trump impersonator last week. this is outside source, live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? the pair were questioned britain‘s prime minister theresa may comes under renewed pressure
